  • Patent number: 11022312
    Abstract: The invention concerns a connection device (14) for connecting a turbomachine member such as an injector, to a system for supplying a fluid such as fuel, the connection device (14) comprising several concentric tubes (26, 28, 30) delimiting conduits (20, 22, 24) for supplying the member, which are curved in at least one direction, characterised in that it is made from a single part comprising at least the tubes (26, 28, 30).

  • Patent number: 10563586
    Abstract: A fuel injector (10) such as an injector for an annular combustion chamber of a turbine engine, comprising a downstream head (16) having a central outlet (22) and an annular peripheral outlet (24) surrounding the central outlet (22), and an injector arm (12) upstream of the head (16) comprising coaxial central channel (18) and annular channel (20), characterised in that the central channel (18) is in fluid communication with the peripheral outlet (24) and the annular channel (20) is in fluid communication with the central outlet (22).

  • Patent number: 10443850
    Abstract: A combustion chamber for a turbomachine that includes a chamber end wall and a plurality of air and fuel injection systems distributed circumferentially about an axis of the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber includes, associated with each injection system, a guide device for guiding an airflow including at least one wall mounted on the injection system and projecting in the upstream direction, one wall acting as an obstacle to a circumferential flow of air around the axis. The one wall of the guide device for guiding the airflow has a shape substantially defining a quarter of a spheroid the interior volume of which forms a guide scoop for guiding the airflow feeding the combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 10041411
    Abstract: A fuel dosing device for a fuel injector of an aircraft turbomachine, including an opening, a movable member for sealing the opening, and elastic return, with the member able to be displaced under the effect of the fuel pressure. The device includes a first outlet communicating with a primary circuit of the injector as well as a second outlet communicating with a secondary circuit. In addition, it is designed such that up to a defined level of displacement of the sealing member, the latter allows the fuel coming from the opening to reach the first outlet and, only beyond the defined level of displacement, the member allows the fuel coming from the opening to reach the second outlet.
